St Barth Catacup 2024 Day 2

Quick update as overall results were published just few mins ago. Three races held today for the Prix Eden Rock Villa Rental.
7-10 knots gusty and tricky conditions reported by many.

Ruben Booth  & Joan Costa, made the new Exploder prototype F18 perform out of the box with much work left on the project. Few new designs had such good debut on its first regatta. Good starting point for its design though ; ) They scored a 3rd, 1st and 13th but were leading that one too, Sails by 1D.

Tomorrow more wind expected and lets see double trap conditions to continue testing this new weapon. Dad Mitch & daughter Rita Booth, also a good day sailing std Scorpion/1D.

Overall leaders Patrik Demesmaeker & Olivier Gagliani (Goodall Akurrra) got two bullets and a 16h for the day establishing a good gap already vs the rest. More wind expected for tomorrow, lets see the new Exploder in good double trap conditions.

Colby & Colman bad day with the spi tack line broken twice.
